Anybody else dislike banter?I cannot sustain friendships because it feels meanspirited if it goes beyond calling someone a dick or a fag on the game. I do not enjoy being on neither end.
i hate those wonkas so fucking much
I just avoid making friendships from 4chan because usually everyone here expects you to banter with them, which I don't do.
"banter" is just how men passive aggressively demean eachother while still being able to maintain social standing
>>84485259I can't stand it either. That's why I prefer talking to girls.
>>84485266No I mean IRL too. I just can't talk down on someone and I hate when people do it to me I just want to punch them in the face. It's worse when they keep escalating with worse and worse insults, that's when I usually drop the friendship because it feels like disrespect at that point.
>>84485287Oh, I don't have any IRL friendships. At most I just make friends with randoms in MMOs.
>>84485287SameI stopped having friends a very long time ago and
>>84485322And will never make friends again
>>84485274I'll give you a peek into how this works for men:There are two kinds of men, good men and petty men. A good man is never petty, a petty man pretends to be good.Petty men try to weaponize banter to vent their issues because they're weak and avoid confrontation.Good men take and give shit in equal measure and don't mind either one. If I'm fucking up I want the boys to roast my ass, if they're fucking up we bring the roast and they're happy to receive it.Easiest way to tell the difference? A petty man can't laugh at himself.A good man knows that being called on his bullshit or calling someone on their bullshit is not an attack on their character. And if we do have an issue with someone, we don't air that through banter, we pull one another aside and talk it out.>>84485259And if we meet softer guys like this we know to hold back on them. You don't cook someone who doesn't want the smoke. Unspoken rule. But that absolutely does not mean they can't hang with us. OP needs to meet some good men. Good men will respect your boundaries and meet you where you are.
>>84485259Nigger it's just a joke kill yourself you weak faggot nigger bitch.
